Ex-wife accused actor of “potentially deadly” acts in court filing
JUNE 5–As investigators try to determine how actor David Carradine wound up hanging naked and dead in a Bangkok hotel closet with a rope tied around his genitals, a review of divorce court filings shows that his most recent ex-wife once accused the actor of “deviant sexual behavior which was potentially deadly.” Additionally, Marina Anderson alleged in a sworn declaration that Carradine engaged in an “incestuous relationship with a very close family member.” Anderson’s declaration, an excerpt of which you’ll find below, was filed in mid-2003 in Los Angeles Superior Court (the document was supposed to be filed under seal but was mistakenly placed in the public court file, where TSG found it). The declaration does not detail Carradine’s alleged “deviant sexual behavior.” As for the incest charge, Anderson reported that Carradine and the unnamed relative admitted the taboo relationship, but that her “pleas for him to get counseling in regards to this matter were ignored and he wanted no part in the healing process the other person needed in order to get closure.” In a phone interview today, Anderson, who was married to Carradine for four years, said she stands by the allegations in her court filing, but declined to further discuss her charges. A Bangkok police official told reporters that investigators were examining whether Carradine accidentally suffocated while engaging in an autoerotic sex act. (4 pages)
Pregnant singer sues L.A. businessman over sale of racy photos
JUNE 4–Mel Gibson’s new girlfriend is suing a Los Angeles businessman for selling photos of her posing in lingerie. Oksana Grigorieva, who is expecting a child with the Hollywood star, claims in a federal lawsuit that Samuel Oriti recently peddled images of her to the tabloid press, in violation of an agreement struck when the photos were taken five years ago. As seen in the below excerpt from her U.S. District Court complaint, Grigorieva is described as “an accomplished composer and performer” who met Oriti in 2004 when he “held himself out as a bona fide talent manager and record producer.” In addition to arranging a recording session, Oriti set up a photo shoot as part of his attempt to negotiate an endorsement deal with a “prominent lingerie company.” Those photos, of course, surfaced on a variety of web sites after news broke that Grigorieva was in a relationship with Gibson, who is divorcing his wife. Grigorieva contends that she recently sent Oriti a cease and desist notice after some of the photos appeared on Radaronline.com, but that he ignored her demand letter. Gibson’s name does not appear in Grigorieva’s lawsuit, which was filed yesterday by the law firm Lavely & Singer, which handles the litigation needs of many A-list celebrities. (6 pages)
Kung Fu star David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel on Thursday. Police discovered him in a closet with cords tied around his neck and genitals, suggesting that he asphyxiated while engaged in a sex game. Is there a safe, proper way to perform autoerotic asphyxiation?
No. There is no doctor-approved way to strangle yourself while having sex or while masturbating. Indeed, cutting off oxygen to the brain is never a good idea. But there are ways to make this dangerous act slightly less dangerous: Do it with a trusted partner; set up a “safeword,” commonly used in bondage situations, to signal your partner to let you go; don’t use drugs or alcohol, which could make the strain that much riskier; and, of course, don’t tie the belt or rope too tight. Some deaths by asphyxiation occur simply because the victim made escape too difficult—in one case, a man rigged it so he would have needed a bolt cutter to release his chains.
Autoerotic asphyxiation, or AEA, is typically performed in the following way: A man—the vast majority of AEAers are male—loops a belt or rope around his neck, attaches the other end to a door knob or pipe, and lowers himself into a controlled suspension. Sex or masturbation ensues. The pressure from the belt cuts off the flow of blood through the veins in his neck, causing blood to congest in the brain. Oxygen levels drop and carbon dioxide levels increase, producing lightheadedness and, for some, intensifying erotic pleasure.

I met them in the hotel bar. As planned they were sitting in the back, watching the door. My Manhattan, rye whiskey with two cherries, sat ready and waiting on the small table. They drank red.
I smiled as I approached them, keeping my eyes on the woman. He was watching her, too, assessing her reaction to me. She looked friendly, nervous, but certainly glad to see me. I think he was pleased as well.
They rose as I approached. She and I hugged, and he shook my hand, warmly and with a big smile. We sat down and she whispered that her hands were shaking. I reached out and rested one of my hands on hers and smiled. “I’m so glad to finally meet you,” I said.
What’s cheating? Men and women define it differently. We asked relationship experts to explain why. Plus, find out if you’re a likely two-timer with our quiz…
Years ago, I met a film critic who was in New York on assignment. He was married. I was not. There was an immediate spark. Drinks led to dinner and eventually back to his hotel room, where he was perfectly comfortable doing everything but. He drew the line at having sex. That, to him, was too far.
“It’s not cheating if we don’t have intercourse,” he said.
Birds do it, bees do it, and men do it any old time. But women will only do it if the candles are scented just right — and their partner has done the dishes first. A stereotype, sure, but is it true? Do men really have stronger sex drives than women?
Well, yes, they do. Study after study illustrates that men’s sex drives are not only stronger than women’s, but much more straightforward. The sources of women’s libidos, by contrast, are much more difficult to pin down.
It’s common wisdom that women place more value on emotional connection as a spark of sexual desire. But women also appear to be heavily influenced by social and cultural factors as well.
